INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

 

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

 

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

CEAT'S PERFORMANCE

 

The Company registered a growth of 9.1 per cent in turnover from Rs. 44354.000 Millions in the year 2011-12 to Rs. 48367.000 Millions in 2012-13. Manufacturing operations at the radial plant at Halol, near Baroda in Gujarat ramped up to 80 per cent capacity utilisation by Q4 of the year thereby improving the financial performance of the Company.

 

A favourable product mix towards categories of motorcycle, scooter, passenger car, utility vehicles and last mile tyres contributed positively to the bottom line.

 

In spite of a shrinking OEM market, the Company's performance in this segment was impressive with a 37 per cent volume growth posted against last year.

 

During 2012-13, prices of key raw materials like Natural Rubber and Synthetic Rubber fell by 8 to 10 per cent and helped increase profits for the Company.

 

The operating margins of the Company improved by 3.2 per cent with the operating profit increasing from Rs. 2468.000 Millions in the year 2011-12 to Rs. 4245.000 Millions in the year 2012-13. Net Profit increased from Rs. 75.000 Millions in 2011-12 to Rs. 1064.000 Millions in 2012-13.

 

The Company also expanded its product portfolio with the 'CZAR' range of Utility Vehicle tyres being a key development. An advertising campaign was launched for this new product range while the successful motorcycle tyre 'Be Idiotsafe' campaign also continued.

 

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The tyre industry in India is passing through a challenging phase much like the overall economy. Such a drastic fall in the sales of commercial vehicles during the year has not been witnessed in a long time. In the short term, therefore, the outlook for tyre industry is not a very optimistic one. The tyre industry's growth is expected to be in sync with the GDP growth. However, replacement demand from vehicle sales over the past two years can provide an opportunity.

 

The Company expects tyre demand to revive over medium term.

 

A weakening Rupee and high interest rates are currently the areas of concern for the tyre industry, but are expected to improve during the course of the year ahead. With the stable forecast of raw material prices, the Company expects a positive year ahead.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC REVIEW

 

The global economy still projects a weak outlook. The recent Cyprus bailout by the European Union underlines the fear of financial crisis for most European countries. The US economy, on the other hand, is slowly recovering. However, the growth is vulnerable to headwinds. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global growth declined to 3 per cent in 2012, compared to 4 per cent in 2011. The governments and central banks in USA and Europe are adopting considerable policy measures to bring stability to the relatively volatile financial market.

 

Declining global growth affected Indian economic development during FY 2013 as well, combined with weak foreign direct investment scenario and sluggish global trade. The service sector registered a growth of 6.6 per cent in 2012-13, as compared to the growth rate of 8.2 per cent in 2011-12. Lower growth in agricultural and industrial activities further affected the scenario. While most countries in Europe and the US will yearn for India's 5 per cent growth in FY 2013, the country still has major challenges to overcome. However, the Government's recent focus on reforms and policy implementation augurs well for the economy. The revival of private sector consumption growth aided by higher growth in agriculture, high Government spending and lower interest rates, project a modest rebound of 6.7 per cent growth in 2013-14.

 

 

GLOBAL TYRE INDUSTRY

 

A disturbed financial market and floating exchange rates have constrained the volumes of tyre sales, especially in advanced economies such as North America and Western Europe. In 2012, the global tyre market size approximated USD 185.8 billion, up 2.6 per cent from a year earlier. For 2013, the global industry growth estimate is no more than 0.5 per cent.

 

Nevertheless, declining raw material costs project a positive industry outlook in the long run. Global tyre demand is anticipated to increase steadily during 2013-2018, with annualised sales volumes set to reach over 3.6 billion units by end of 2018. Passenger car and light truck market segments, which together accounted for close to 60 per cent of the world markets' value in 2012, are predicted to fuel the global demand for tyres over the forecast period. Region-wise, the Asia Pacific nations, especially China, India and Thailand are expected to drive the demand.

 

 

INDIAN TYRE INDUSTRY

 

Overview

 

Being a capital intensive sector, the Indian tyre industry is mostly organised (excluding the bicycle tyre industry) and is dominated by cross ply tyres. Commercial Vehicle (CV), Passenger Vehicle (PV), two and three wheelers, tractor, construction equipment and other off-the-road (OTR) tyres are the various categories of the industry. CV tyre segment is the primary demand driver for the Indian market while PV tyre segment works as the key demand driver for mature markets like North America and Western Europe. The three major segments for the tyre industry are Original Equipment Manufacturers, Replacement and Exports.

 

Total tyre production in India has grown at a CAGR of ~10 per cent in the last decade (FY 2003 to FY 2012). In FY 2012, the Indian tyre industry grew by 5.3 per cent in terms of volumes despite economic slowdown and high input costs. FY 2012 reflected a decline in replacement demand in terms of volume, subdued Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) demand growth and a healthy export growth.

 

In FY 2013, the overall production marginally de-grew by 2-3 per cent from 125 million tonnes to around 123 million tonnes. PV segment gained over 11 per cent while Truck and Bus segment gained over 5 per cent in FY 2013. The de-growth can be attributed to the economic moderation, weak domestic demand for automobiles, further lowering tyre off-take from OEMs and preventing significant recovery in replacement demand. Imports, especially in the Truck and Bus segment, are expected to decline in 2012-13 as well, mainly due to increase in domestic radial capacities, implementation of BIS norms and depreciation in the rupee.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Industry composition

 

Replacement market

 

The Indian tyre industry is dominated by the replacement market which is largely dependent on the Truck and Bus segment. This segment in turn depends on commercial activity and economic growth of the country. Muted GDP growth over the last 1 (one) year stopped the replacement market from reaping the benefits of a vibrant OEM market in the 2009-2011 timeframe.

 

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM)

 

Due to the economic slowdown, several automobile majors had to undertake production cuts during 2012-13. Growth for all categories except Utility Vehicles and scooters was either flat or negative. The Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicle (MHCV) category was the worst affected with a 23 per cent decline. The scenario is not expected to be positive in the coming year either.

 

Exports

 

In 2012-13, exports in value terms grew 10 per cent year-over-year, with a healthy CAGR of around 18 per cent in the last decade. In volume terms, export has registered a growth of 8 per cent as compared to last year. Truck and Bus segment (14 per cent) and Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) (22 per cent) were the major segments having a higher exports share. Indian tyres are exported to more than 100 (hundred) countries and primarily to Latin America, Middle East, South Asia and Far East.

 

 

Slowdown in Exports

 

During FY 2013, overall automobile exports registered de-growth of 1.34 per cent compared to the same period last year. Passenger Vehicle exports grew by 9.02 per cent, while the other segments like CV, three wheelers and two wheelers fell by 13.35 per cent, 16.22 per cent and 0.72 per cent respectively.

 

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

CEAT Limited offers a wide array of tyres, which includes heavy duty Truck and Bus, LCV, PV, tractor, trailer, scooter, motorcycle, auto-rickshaw and OTR product categories.

 

 

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

 

Operational overview

 

Despite the economic headwinds and industry challenges, CEAT continuously invested in every aspect of its business. The future-focused strategies, investment and capability-building activities yielded significant results in FY 2013. The Halol plant, which made the Company a significant player in the radial tyre industry, touched a capacity of 115 tonnes per day. The performance of the OEM segment was particularly impressive with increased supply to several new OEMs.

 

During the year, the Company has also entered into a Joint Venture (70:30) with A. K. Khan and Company Limited (AKK), one of the leading business houses of Bangladesh, to set up a tyre manufacturing facility in Bangladesh. The Company has already finalised the blue print of the plant. The plant will start catering to the domestic demand of Bangladesh and neighbouring countries from early 2015. On the other hand, Associated CEAT Holdings Company Private Limited (ACHL) - the Sri Lanka Joint Venture of the Company continued to enjoy overall market leadership in Sri Lanka.

 

 

New product launches

 

Over 70 new products were launched in the year 2012-13 across all product categories.

 

Most notably, CEAT has launched 'CZAR', a premium range for Utility Vehicle tyres. Low noise and less wear and tear are the primary features of this product range. These tyres are also puncture resistant and enhance off-road stability that ensures a smoother ride. The television advertising campaign for 'CZAR' was launched earlier in the year and received a good response from the market.

 

 

CEAT PRO

 

In order to spread awareness among truck owners about the best business practices to improve operational efficiency, CEAT actively organises educational sessions known as CEAT PRO. Since the commencement of the initiative in June 2009, CEAT Pro has successfully conducted 99 seminars with expert speakers on lubes, auto finance and insurance, vehicle AMCs, telematics, and other related topics for better customer satisfaction, resulting in higher profit margins.

 

CEAT PRO is, the first of its kind programme for fleet owners, to spread awareness regarding the best industry practices to enhance operational efficiency. In FY 2013, it has conducted 26 seminars to educate fleet owners on new technological advancements for better information access, advanced concepts of brand building and customer service. Key personalities from logistics, finance, marketing, human resource management, commercial vehicle OEMs and other related sectors also addressed the major concerns of the fleet owners.

 

CEATSHOPPE

 

CEAT Shoppe is a 'one stop tyre shop' exclusive retail channel that positively contributed to the Company's sales, especially in the passenger tyre segment.

 

During the year, the Company has successfully added more than 60 Shoppes in the new look. By FY 2014, CEAT plans to increase the number of Shoppes to 200, concentrating on towns with population of 5 to 10 lacs.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

According to latest estimates by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), while Passenger Car and UV segments are expected to grow at 5-7 per cent and 11-13 per cent respectively during 2013-14, MHCV and LCV segments are expected to grow at a rate 1-3 per cent and 10-12 per cent respectively. The two and three wheeler segments are expected to grow at 6-8 per cent and 3-5 per cent respectively in this period. This is expected to improve demand for tyres in the domestic market by approximately 5 per cent during the current year.

 

CEAT is well positioned to seize the market opportunities, leveraging its key strengths - state-of-the-art products, diverse offerings, improved operational efficiency, extended network across the country and access to international markets and the expertise of its management team.

PRESS RELEASE:

 

CEAT LIMITED BRINGS ‘CEAT-PRO KNOWLEDGE SERIES’ TO PATNA

 

  • A Pan-India series looking to address issues concerning the Indian truck transportation market
  • A platform of partnership, a circle of trust between CEAT, participating partners and India’s top fleet companies

 

Patna, January 25, 2013:

 

Indian tyre major CEAT Limited, an RPG Enterprise company, organized a knowledge platform – ‘CEAT PRO’ for fleet owners in Patna to help them better their business and reduce operation costs. This is an interactive platform that gives fleet owners access to best practices and ideas across diverse areas of the Indian trucking industry.

 

As part of its fleet excellence program CEAT PRO knowledge series aims to create a common platform for sharing information and resources and thus helping fleets compete on a flatter turf. The panelists will speak about Right selection of Lubricants, Do’s and Dont’s of Finance, Benefits of AMC and Radialization and its benefits.

 

CEAT recognises that the Indian truck transportation market is approximately Rs 38,000 crore, of which over 80% of the market lies in the unorganised sector. Despite recent developments, the overall awareness of new technologies and industry best practices is quite low. Penetration of new age systems such as the Fleet Management software or the GPS systems is quite dismal and mostly restricted to only a select few big transporters. Therefore, CEAT has taken several initiatives towards developing this sector.

 

As a further step, CEAT has also started India’s First and only Transportation awards, India Road Transportation Awards (IRTA). This award is the next step in CEAT’s efforts to take forward the knowledge platform and to start recognizing the achievers in the transportation sector. It is a platform to recognize theInnovators who have transformed the Transportation Industry. The third edition of National Awards was held on July 20, 2012.

 

Speaking at CEAT – Pro at Patna, Vinod Kumar, Vice President - Marketing, CEAT Limited said, “Though the Indian transportation industry is booming it lacks a common platform to engage customers and help them build best practices. At CEAT, we believe in partnering with our customers and the automobile industry to gain value and optimum growth, thus “CEAT PRO” was launched.”

 

He added, “CEAT – PRO is not a selling tool but a knowledge plank, to share ideas and best practices. CEAT engages industry experts and helps create value for the end customer by assisting him with new technology, information and best practices.”
